This comprehensive global conflict map shows where tourists would encounter danger and violence across the world, including North Korea and the Middle East.
But the conflict zones are not constricted the Middle East, with Africa and Asia also being deemed as unsafe.
North Korea is naturally included on the map as the country’s aggressive nuclear testing campaign threatens to spark World War 3.
Air raid sirens rang out across North Korea’s capital city, Pyongyang, over the weekend as the country forces its citizens to prepare for the possibility of conflict.
While Kim Jong-un’s war of words with world leaders such as Donald Trump have made the global geopolitical climate increasingly volatile.
Civil wars in Libya and Syria are also rated as “critical” conflicts, as is the war against the so-called Islamic State in Iraq.
Tensions in the East China Sea and territorial disputes in the South China Sea, as Asian superpower China flexes its muscles to take control of the area, are also branded “critical” conflicts.
Tensions in the Middle East have been taken into account as “significant” conflicts in Yemen and Lebanon get a special mention.
In Lebanon, sectarian conflicts involving Hezbollah, a political and military organisation which has been involved in terrorist attacks, have dogged politics for years.
In recent weeks the Lebanese prime minister fled to Saudi Arabia, where he resigned in a strongly-worded speech in which he accused Hezbollah, backed by Iran, of destabilising his country.
